He's the everyman. He's the grounded family man who reminds the soldiers and literal gods what they're fighting for. And, as the most normal member of the team, he might just be the bravest and most heroic among them. Hawkeye is at his finest in Age of Ultron , where his normalcy grounds the Avengers while they're busy squabbling over the right way to protect the world and accidentally unleashing a genocidal A.
In a way, it's understandable. At that point, the Avengers consist of a billionaire genius , a Norse god and future-king , a century-old war hero , a Soviet super-spy , and the Hulk. These are all big personalities with big powers, and although well-intentioned, it makes sense that they could forget the little guy. Luckily, there's a little guy in the team, wielding his bow and arrow.
When the Avengers retreat to Clint's domestic farmhouse, they're shocked to see that he has a wife and kids despite his heroics, Clint is also apparently a great husband and father, which is heroic in itself. His domestic life reveals a level of normalcy that the rest of them can't fully comprehend, given their hectic lives, and it's an important reminder of the team's mission. Without people like Clint and his family, the Avengers would have nothing to protect, and nothing to Avenge.
Are you? Although Barton is brought back to life, he takes over the Ronin identity, allowing Kate to continue to be Hawkeye. Clint did wear his Ronin costume in Endgame , though the movie shied away from calling him by a new moniker. What's more, it seems that Hawkeye will lose his hearing in the show, which sets up the arrival of Clown, a villain who stabbed Clint with several arrows and permanently damaged his eardrums. Variety confirmed that a character by the name of Kazi aka, Kazimierz Kazimierczak will appear in the show, lending credence to Clown as one of the show's primary antagonists.
Echo, a deaf Native American superhero who can mirror other people's physical movements, is also expected to make her debut on the show. Her history with the Kingpin, the villain who raised her after killing her father, could prove vital to Hawkeye's storyline. Meanwhile, Hailee Steinfeld has been cast in the role of Kate Bishop.
Set photo leaks revealed that the pair of archers will also be joined by a golden retriever named Lucky the Pizza Dog. Here is the full cast list:. The first trailer for Hawkeye dropped in September , highlighting characters old and new and the holiday setting. You can watch it below:.

Barton and Lang had then made deals with the FBI to be placed under house arrest and agree to follow the Sokovia Accords as Thaddeus Ross demanded, with Barton returning to his Homestead until his house arrest was complete so he could live a peaceful life. Barton teaching his daughter archery. In , Barton, who was still under house arrest, was having a picnic with his family outside of his homestead.
While Laura prepared lunch and his so ns played catch, Barton was teaching his daughter Lila archery. Barton guided Lila in how to shoot an arrow, a skill he had perfected, as his wife called out for what condiment they wanted on their hot dogs: mayonnaise or mustard. Barton requested mustard for the two of them, joking with Lila how only her brothers preferred mayonnaise on hot dogs.
Barton compliments his daughter 's shooting. Barton then watched as Lila took her shot, hitting the bullseye. He proudly congratulated his daughter, calling her "Hawkeye". As Lila went to collect her arrow, Laura called them over for lunch. When Barton called for his daughter, he discovered that she was gone. Barton called out for Lila again, wondering where she had gone, but to no prevail. Confused by his daughter's sudden disappearance, Barton turned to where his wife and sons were, only to find them gone too.
Barton discovers his daughter has vanished. Starting to get very worried, Barton began to unsuccessfully search for his family around the homestead, unaware of what was happening. Barton could do nothing but desperately, and with great fear, call out for his family.
Barton would eventually learn in complete horror that his wife and children actually perished alongside half of the universe's population, all thanks to Thanos obtaining the six Infinity Stones to commit the Snap , despite the best efforts of the Avengers to stop him.
Even when the other Avengers were able to successfully track down Thanos to the Garden several weeks later, it became all for naught as Thanos had already destroyed the Infinity Stones, before Thor proceeded to behead him with Stormbreaker , leaving the Avengers in utter defeat as they could not reverse the Snap without the Infinity Stones' power. This left Barton completely devastated, as any hope of saving his family appeared to be lost forever, due to the complete destruction of the Infinity Stones and the death of Thanos.
As a result of losing his family, Barton had embraced his grief and became Ronin, going on a path of vengeance against any criminals who had survived the Snap.
Using a new uniform and weaponry, including a Katana , Ronin travelled to Mexico where he ruthlessly murdered all members of Mexican Cartel. This resulted in Ronin being sought out by the remaining Avengers , as James Rhodes continued investigating Ronin's actions. Ronin furiously fighting against Akihiko. Ronin then found himself in Tokyo , Japan , where he planned to eliminate all members of the Yakuza faction there.
Despite the great numbers and rapid gunfire, Ronin managed to make his way through all enemies with great ease, going through a building where he headed for Akihiko , a Yakuza operative. The two then found themselves in the streets, where Akihiko questioned Ronin on his actions, which he informed him that it was the fact they survived and half the population didn't. The two then drew swords and began to fight. Ronin after murdering Akihiko with his sword. Despite the duel being fairly even, Ronin was able to cut Akihiko's throat, causing him to beg for his life, promising to give Ronin anything he wanted.
However, Ronin ignored his cries for mercy, stating that the only thing he wanted, which was his family, could not be given by Akihiko. He then finished off Akihiko, cleaned his sword, as he became aware of Romanoff standing behind him, telling her that she should not be there.
Barton being reunited with Natasha Romanoff. But Romanoff believed that he should not either, but Barton informed her that it was all a part of a job that he believed he had to do. Romanoff addressed how everyone he has murdered was not going to bring his family back, for which she then informed him a plan to bring everyone back.
However, despite desperately wanting to be with his family, Barton initially rejected the idea, not wanting to be given hope, only for it to be taken away if it failed. Barton being comforted by Natasha Romanoff. Romanoff, clearly seeing her best friend in distraught and what he had become, apologized for not giving hope to him sooner. She then comforted him by holding his hand.
The two then entered the Quinjet and flew back to the New Avengers Facility , in order to attempt to undo the actions of the Snap. Barton volunteering himself to test Time Travel. With Scott Lang giving the idea to use the Quantum Realm to travel back in time, the Avengers began to work on a way to successfully do so. Barton watched as Lang prepared to test the time traveling, to see if it actually worked.
However, after an accidental triggering of one of the last available Pym Particles , Lang stated that he couldn't do it. Barton then volunteered to do the test run and switched with Lang.
Nebula then helped Barton into the Advanced Tech Suit as Bruce Banner instructed him on some experiences he may have during the test. Barton wears the Advanced Tech Suit. As they prepared, Rhodes and Lang expressed their thoughts on time travel, believing that changing the past changes the future, something Barton supported. However, Banner tried to explain how time travel actually worked, debunking all the examples of time travel seen in movies that Rhodes and Lang listed, stating that them going into the past is their future, and the present would be their past, which couldn't be changed by the new future.
Barton at his house in the past. Barton stood on the platform and waited to be transported through time, via the Quantum Realm. Banner counted down to when he activated the machine, causing Barton to be sent into the Quantum Realm. Barton navigated his way through, coming out at his home , before the Snap. Barton took a moment to adjust to being back in the past, before approaching his house, where he picked up a baseball mitt. He then overheard his children, causing him to call out to his daughter to try and see her again.
However, he was sent back to the present just before he could, narrowly missing his daughter. When he returned, he was temporarily discomforted by the travel, but quickly adjusted. Natasha Romanoff went to check on him and see if he was fine, which he told her he was. He then informed the Avengers that their plan had worked, and he had successfully traveled through time, as he had brought the mitt back with him.
He threw the mitt to Tony Stark and they all began to brainstorm about the Infinity Stones. Through this experience, Barton was given hope again, and was now back to himself, although the Ronin identity still stuck with him. Barton and James Rhodes listen to Thor. With the means of travel accounted for, the team then began brainstorming when and where they could retrieve the stones, addressing that they need to be specific where they travel to, as the stones have all crossed paths with most of them.
They decided to brief themselves on each stone and the history of where they've been. Thor told them about the Aether , but began to get off topic as he had not come to terms with some of the trauma in his life, including his mother 's death.
Barton listens to Nebula talk about Vormir. Rocket Raccoon then informed them about the Power Stone , which Peter Quill stole from Morag , and Nebula told them about the Soul Stone , and how Thanos also killed her sister there, too. They then refined their plan to retrieve all six stones the best way possible, as there was a time when three stones were on Earth at once. They then split the Avengers into small teams, each responsible for a different stone.
The Avengers finish the Time Heist brainstorm. However, they only had enough Pym Particles to send them back in time, and back to the present, meaning this was their only chance.
Hawkeye walking to the Quantum Tunnel. The Avengers all then suited up in their Advanced Tech Suits and made their way to the platform, where Captain America gave them a speech about everything that had led up to that moment and how this was their only opportunity to change what had happened.
Hawkeye and Black Widow prepare to leave. Hawkeye was given a shrunken down Benatar to take with him so he and Black Widow could travel to Vormir, which Rocket Raccoon made him promise to return without any damages, which Barton casually agreed to.
Bruce Banner then activated the machine and they all were transported to the Quantum Realm , where they each traveled to their designated time.
Hawkeye and Black Widow on Morag in Hawkeye and Black Widow then boarded the Benatar and said goodbye to War Machine, who asked them to watch over each other. They then departed Morag and headed to Vormir , to retrieve the Soul Stone.
Hawkeye and Black Widow travelling in space. As they traveled to Vormir, which Nebula had set the coordinates for, making their only requirement to not fall out of course, the two best friends enjoyed the sight of space travel. They laughed with each other as Hawkeye mentioned that they had come a long way since being S. Hawkeye and Black Widow locate Red Skull.
They soon arrived at the planet, which amazed Hawkeye, saying that what they were doing would be awesome if not for the circumstances. They then made their way through the planet, climbing up the mountain, which they found to be exhausting. When Black Widow called Rocket a "Raccoon", Hawkeye stated that technically he was not a raccoon, but she didn't care.
When they made it to the top of the mountain, they were greeted by the Red Skull , who alarmed them, causing them to draw their weapons at him. Hawkeye learning the cost for the Soul Stone. The Red Skull informed them that he was a guide for those seeking the Soul Stone, so Black Widow demanded that he show them where it was. However, he informed them that it is never that simple.
They learned that the stone was at the bottom of the cliff, and then the Red Skull told them that they had to make a sacrifice of what they love for the Soul Stone. Upon learning about the price to pay for the Soul Stone , Hawkeye and Black Widow took a moment to let the severity of the situation sink in. Hawkeye felt as if the Red Skull may be lying, but Black Widow believed that he was not and that a sacrifice is necessary. She considered how Thanos arrived on Vormir and did not leave with Gamora , believing it not to be a coincidence with their current predicament.
They then repeated what Captain America had said before their mission "whatever it takes", before accepting that one of them needed to sacrifice themselves for the stone. Hawkeye decided that he would make the sacrifice, holding Black Widow's hand to comfort her in their final moments. Hawkeye and Black Widow discuss sacrifice.
However, she then reciprocated the same gesture, making him realize that she intended on sacrificing herself. They then argued over which one it should be, neither wanting to willingly let the other die. Black Widow attempted to make her case, saying this is what she had been working towards all these years, and that she did not want Hawkeye to die. However, Hawkeye told her he should do it, as he saw himself as too far gone, which she assured him that he is more than his worst moments. Hawkeye and Black Widow share an embrace.
However, when he told her that she should not try and give him a chance, she responded to the fact that he did for her when they first met. They then took a moment to embrace each other's friendship, resting their heads on one another, until Hawkeye took her off guard and threw her down so he could sacrifice himself.
He told her to tell his family when they were brought back, that he loved them. However, Black Widow gained the upper hand and threw him down, deciding to make the sacrifice herself. She hit him with her Bite , causing him to get shocked. As she made a run for the cliff, Hawkeye ripped off the taser , drew his bow, and fired an explosive arrow near her, causing her to be thrown away from the cliff. He then made it for the cliff and jumped off, but Black Widow also jumped and grabbed him, shooting a grapple and attaching it to him, so he wouldn't fall, sacrificing herself.
Hawkeye watches Black Widow 's sacrifice. However, Hawkeye was able to grab onto her, but could not pull her up, without both of them falling. He got mad at her for stopping him from sacrificing himself. She asked him to let her go, knowing that there was no other way, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. He desperately tried to get her to not do it, not letting go of her, as he did not want his best friend to die, but she felt the exact same and forced him to let go.
Hawkeye cried as he watched Black Widow fall to her death , helpless to do anything else. Hawkeye manages to obtain the Soul Stone. With the required sacrifice being made, a light burst out and knocked Hawkeye out and teleporting him to a river.
Hawkeye soon awoke, confused on the new area he suddenly appeared in, sitting up in the water. He had obtained the Soul Stone, which appeared in his hand, but at that moment, all that he was thinking about was the death of his best friend. As he sat in the river, Hawkeye cried over her death. Barton returns without his best friend. Regardless, Hawkeye had achieved his mission's goal, so he activated the Time-Space GPS and was momentarily transported back through the Quantum Realm , back to the present, where all the other Avengers safely returned.
There was an initial celebration from the other Avengers, which was interrupted when Hawkeye fell to his knees. The others saw Hawkeye alone and asked about Black Widow 's whereabouts, but he was too upset to respond, but they were able to understand what had happened. Barton mourning Natasha Romanoff 's death. The remaining original Avengers gathered outside and let the news of their friend's death sink in.
However, Thor believed that Romanoff could too be brought back along with everyone else. However, Barton made it clear to him that there was no way to undo what had happened. Barton then got upset, stating that it should have been him that made the sacrifice. They then decided not to let their friend's death go without meaning, so they started working on making a Nano Gauntlet capable of wielding all Infinity Stones.
The Avengers discuss the Nano Gauntlet. With all the Infinity Stones in their possession, Tony Stark , along with Bruce Banner and Rocket Raccoon began creating an Nano Gauntlet that could house all of the Infinity Stones and allow the wearer to wield all them.
When they were done, they discussed who should be the one to snap their fingers; Thor desperately believing he should do it, wanting to do something right. Barton watches Hulk wield the Infinity Stones. However, they came to the realization that Banner must be the one to do it, due to the levels of Gamma Radiation , and that anyone else would be killed from. As Banner was about to wield the gauntlet, each Avenger suited up and made sure to protect themselves from any blast, Barton stood by Stark, who had generated a shield in front of them.
As Banner became overwhelmed by the Stones' power, he was able to snap his fingers, attempting to reverse the Snap and bring everyone back. Barton gets a call from his resurrected wife. Afterwards, Banner collapsed to the floor, and the gauntlet fell off. Barton kicked the gauntlet away, telling no one to move it. They then checked on Banner, when suddenly, Barton's phone began to ring.
He checked his phone and saw that it was his wife calling, revealing that they were successful. He answered the call and attempted to talk to his wife when suddenly, the Facility was attacked by Thanos , blasting Barton backwards, causing him to fall to the undergrounds of the facility. Hawkeye found himself under some rubble, having fallen through to the access tunnels of the New Avengers Facility.
He took a moment to recover from the impact of the explosion, as he turned on a flashlight on his wrist to see where he was, calling out to the other Avengers. Hawkeye then noticed the Nano Gauntlet on the ground, when he then heard movement behind him.
Hawkeye takes aim at all of the Outriders. Hawkeye drew his bow and quickly turned around, firing a flare arrow towards the movement, where he caught a glimpse of the Outriders. He then grabbed the gauntlet, and ran from the creatures, trying to protect the Infinity Stones from falling into the wrong hands. As Hawkeye made his way through the tunnels, he was finding himself about to be overrun by Outriders, so he started planting explosive arrows along the tunnel.
Hawkeye tries to run from several Outriders. The arrows then went off, causing the Outriders to be caught in the explosion, with Hawkeye just avoiding it. However, when he looked back, he noticed the Outriders were still alive and heading for him. He then fired a grapple arrow from his Wristbow and scaled upwards to safety.
However, this did not stop the Outriders, who continued to viciously go after Hawkeye, climbing upwards to get him. Hawkeye manages to defeats the Outriders. He then drew his sword and began to fend off the ruthless creatures, slicing them in half as they leaped at him. He then made it to the level above, eliminating all of them, screaming at the Outriders in his victory. Exhausted by his recent fight, Hawkeye laid down to rest for a moment, when he noticed Nebula approach him.
Unaware that this was not the Nebula he had been working with, but the version of her from the alternate timeline , he handed the gauntlet over to her. Hawkeye held at gunpoint by Nebula. When Nebula revealed her true nature, Hawkeye attempted to stop her from giving the Gauntlet to Thanos , but he was unsuccessful due to her pulling a gun out on him.
Before she could kill him, Nebula was stopped by Gamora and the Nebula from the present. When Nebula pulled her gun away from Hawkeye to aim at the present day Nebula, he moved to safety, as he watched present day Nebula kill the other Nebula. Confused by what just happened, Hawkeye then picked up the gauntlet and continued to protect it as he made his way out of the facility. Hawkeye protecting the Nano Gauntlet. When all the heroes returned to help fight against alternate Thanos and his massive army, Hawkeye stood amongst them as Captain America led the charge.
During the battle, Hawkeye continued to protect the Infinity Stones , carrying the Nano Gauntlet around with him as he made his way through the battlefield. Not being able to properly fight while holding onto the gauntlet, Hawkeye managed to avoid numerous attacks from Thanos' army, with assistance from the other heroes.
Hawkeye fighting during the Battle of Earth. Being in a position of danger with all of the Infinity Stones, Hawkeye asked Captain America about what he should do with the Stones. He told him to get the stones away from the battlefield, but Hulk interjected, telling him that they needed to get the stones back to where they got them. Ant-Man informed them that Luis' van was on the battlefield and could be used to get the stones back.
Hawkeye then made his way to the van, fighting off many hordes of Outriders with his Sword and Wristbow. As he pursued, he was spotted by Ebony Maw who sent more of the alien army towards him.
As Hawkeye witnessed the aliens draw near, he was saved by Black Panther , who used his kinetic pulse to blast them away. Hawkeye being assisted by Black Panther. He then acknowledged Hawkeye, calling him by his first name, something he learned during the Clash of the Avengers , and told him to hand over the Nano Gauntlet.
Hawkeye did so, knowing that he was faster and would be able to get past Thanos' army easier than he would. With the gauntlet out of his possession, Hawkeye was now able to fully join the fight. Hawkeye, along with all the other heroes were able to fight off Thanos' army, but it wasn't until Iron Man wielded all the Infinity Stones, that they were victorious. All of alternate Thanos' army disintegrated, followed by Thanos himself.
Hawkeye kneels to show respect to Iron Man. However, this came at the cost of Iron Man's life, due to the immense power of the stones. Hawkeye saw his friend who he had fought beside many times, and out of respect, knelt before him as he mourned his death. This was then followed by Black Panther, who noticed Hawkeye kneeling, proceeded by everyone else kneeling in front of the fallen hero.
Having been successful in bringing back those who died, as well as defeating Thanos , Barton took a Quinjet and returned to his homestead , where his family was now alive. Barton and his wife kiss as they reunite. As Barton approached his house, Lila , Cooper , and Nathaniel came outside and reunited with their father, holding each other in their arms. After hugging his children, Barton looked over and saw his wife.
He and Laura walked over to each other and embraced one another. Now that his family had been brought back, Barton could return to his retirement. The Barton family attend Tony Stark 's funeral. Barton, along with Pepper Potts and her daughter , Happy Hogan , James Rhodes , and the remaining original Avengers, gathered inside Stark's home, where they watched a recorded message Stark left before the Time Heist.
They all then stood outside with their allies as Stark's Arc Reactor was sent adrift in the lake. Barton and Wanda Maximoff jointly comfort. Afterwards, Barton reunited with his close friend Wanda Maximoff and confided in her about his desire to be able to let Natasha Romanoff know that they were successful in bringing everyone back.
Maximoff assured him that Romanoff knew, as well as Vision. The two then comforted each other over the loss of the people close to them. Afterwards, Barton and his family returned home and continued to live their life together on their homestead. Clint Barton is a brave operative with a deadpan focus; dedicated to his job of protecting the innocent. Through his years of being with S. However, despite this commitment, Barton has proven himself to be a maverick, disobeying orders in order to do what he believes is right as well as seeing through whatever he does his own way.
When Phil Coulson gave Barton orders to use a gun to take aim at Thor but he chose to grab a bow , his signature weapon, as he knew that he is at his best with it.
However, two people Barton has ultimately shown to follow completely are Nick Fury and Steve Rogers due to their qualities he holds to value. He admires Fury's clear line of sight, something Barton maintains in situations and respects Rogers' ability to always fight for what is right. This is why Barton, even while under the influence of Loki , managed to spare Fury, and chose to help Rogers during the Avengers Civil War.
In addition to this, Barton trusts Rogers' leadership of the Avengers and performs as the ideal soldier in battle, following his orders and strategies, as seen when he took the Regeneration Cradle to Avengers Tower , despite wanting to save Black Widow, and requesting for Rogers' plan during the Battle of Earth when he was protecting the Nano Gauntlet.
Though commonly misjudged and underestimated as one of the most underpowered Avengers, with his ability to blend in with his environment, his stoic professionalism, and ability to see and assess from afar, Barton is often valued by his superiors for his ability to keep an eye on people and assess situations.
For this, he was able to figure out that the Tesseract could be activated from another location, as well as know the weaknesses of the Avengers and how to exploit it when under Loki's influence. He was also able to stay alert and level headed during the Battle at the Salvage Yard and not succumb to the effects of the Scarlet Witch , unlike the other Avengers, who were easily subdued due to their more reckless approach.
It is because of this that Barton can even understand when he is outmatched and accept it and use his skills to benefit him. When he went to rescue Wanda Maximoff, he knew that he could not defeat the Vision , despite placing traps to stop him but instead had Wanda defeat him.
When he was being chased by a group of Outriders , despite knowing he could not outrun them Barton endured with protecting the Infinity Stones. During the Avengers Civil War, Barton also understood that in order for them to win, some of them had to sacrifice themselves and be arrested, including himself.
For Barton, this is not a tough call, as he is willing to sacrifice himself for what is right. That is why he went back to save a Sokovian boy who was missing, even though Barton himself was safe from the near destructing country because for Barton, he needs to make sure that everyone is safe no matter how the fight is going.
So even though there was a massive army of aliens attacking, Barton went to rescue a bus filled with civilians who were trapped, rather than fight them off with Black Widow. And when he and Black Widow were informed that one of them had to sacrifice themselves in order to obtain the Soul Stone , Barton didn't hesitate to allow himself to be the one to do it, especially in order to save his best friend and redeem himself for his actions.
Despite his professionalism and approach to missions, Barton is a humorous and often sarcastic person and is able to not take things too seriously, even in the midst of a battle where he can sometimes be overwhelmed. This is due to their many years of working together, which developed into a strong friendship, where the two could be completely comfortable with each other. As a result, Barton trusted her with the secret of his family, and she told him about her dark past.
And when both were compromised, the other cared for them as they recovered. Because of their closeness, they often stay together in situations as that's how they work best.
This allows them to frequently not be serious as seen in the Battle of New York where both of them made jokes about the situation, when the two were casually having a conversation during the chaotic Battle of Sokovia. And when Barton lost his family, he had become more hardened, which Black Widow tried to help him through. However, this was partially restored once he was given hope, and he continued to joke with his friend during the Time Heist , as seen when the two were on Morag , waiting for Nebula and War Machine , jokingly being impatient.
Barton's humor is occasionally used to compensate for him being overwhelmed in situations that include people like Thor, a literal god. And when the team planned to retrieve the Infinity Stones and bring everyone back, Barton was seen as essential in order for the whole team to be together.
Barton is mainly the one who makes the jokes at a constant, even in moments of pain, seriousness or conflict, such as the Avengers Civil War or when Red Skull revealed the cost for the Soul Stone, not initially believing him. For this, Barton is seen as the jokester of the team. Because of this, Barton can sometimes be seen as more immature than the other Avengers, as well as being cocky and always feels the need to be competitive with anyone who acts as a challenge. When he was easily bested by the enhanced Quicksilver , Barton then happily participated in a rivalry with him, despite it being childish as he is much older than the adolescent.
He also uses his perfect aim to show off, such as hitting a moving target without looking, especially towards those who appear to be more powerful or better than him, mainly Tony Stark. He is also seen to be very revengeful and does not take kindly towards being betrayed or manipulated. During the battle against Loki, even though focusing on protecting others and stopping the attack, Barton seized the moment to get revenge by exploding an arrow right next to the God of Mischief, defeating him.
However, Barton is not as immature when the person who wrongs him is someone he trusts. For Barton, trust is very important, but when Stark, a man who Barton was good friends with and even revealed his secret family to him, had a hand in fighting against and arresting him, Barton became furious and lost his respect for him, even to label him as someone who can never be trusted.
However, this would change over the years as they worked together again to reverse the Snap , which resulted in Stark's death. Uniquely, Barton is quite compassionate for an assassin, as he sees the good in people and who they could be, rather than who they were.
For this, Barton is seen as a better man, then a good soldier. When he was ordered to kill Black Widow, he made the call to spare her, recruiting her for S. From this, Barton developed a strong partnership with Romanoff, caring for her deeply at all times, as seen when he would go to check on her when she was affected by Scarlet Witch and frustrated when Ultron captured her, causing him to not stop searching for her.
When the two were faced with the realization that one of them would have to sacrifice themselves for the Soul Stone, Barton could not bring himself to allow her to do so, forcing himself to be the one, to only be stopped by Romanoff, who also didn't want to allow her best friend to die, wanting to give him another chance, as he did for her when they met.
This is also seen with Wanda Maximoff, one of the other people Barton possesses a close bond with. Much like Romanoff, he inspired Maximoff to move past her conflicted history and do good and help fight with the Avengers against Ultron. Since her brother's death, ultimately saving Barton, he has felt some responsibility towards Wanda, him being a father figure towards her, guiding her and making sure she does what is right.
That is why he was happy to rescue her from the New Avengers Facility , giving her the opportunity to make amends for her actions. Despite both of them being at either end of the scale in regards to powers: Wanda being incredibly powerful and Barton being a regular man with a skillset, this does not come into play within their relationship, but rather they see past that and focus more on accepting the reality of their situations and doing what needs to be done.
Barton is a very loyal, caring and dedicated person who would do anything for the people he cares about. But the most important people in his life, are his family, who are very supportive in his role as an Avenger. Being a loving husband and father, Barton thinks about his family before a battle, motivating him, and would call them afterward to tell them he is fine.
However, because he cares so much about them, he decided to retire to be with them. Although, if he was ever needed, Barton would also go to help his friends if they asked him, especially Wanda.
Barton being a compassionate person and a family man goes hand in hand with each other and is what separates him with the other Avengers. It is the experience of being a husband and a father that makes him the man he is. Due to this, it was the death of his family that caused him to fall into a state of grief and rage that fuelled his path of vengeance, becoming extremely ruthless, murdering those who he saw as deserving of death.
